Accommodation Services in Cape Town

Johan was born in Keetmanshoop (southern Namibia) and enjoyed a long and distinguished career in the South African National Defence Force, both as a soldier and a diplomat. Jo-Anne was born in Kimberley (in the Northern Cape) and qualified as a teacher from the University of Stellenbosch. We were married in 1978 and have two grown up children, Johan and Maritha who are both involved in the hospitality industry. Blaauwheim is our passion and service excellence our aim. After seven successful years in the hospitality industry and scores of happy guests, we are extremely proud of what we have accomplished. Watch the birds taking a bath and preening, see an elusive squirrel looking for his cache of acorns or just absorb the tranquil surrounds. The owners, Johan and Jo-Anne, prepare and serve scrumptious full farmhouse breakfasts indoors or on the patio. A solar heated splash pool with spa jets is just the thing the doctor ordered.
